I love you Countryhumans designs. I love how add little details about the countries like flowers or habitats or animals and they’re just so creative and cool AND AND HgGgHGgGhGgG. How do you do it? Do you have any process or what?
Thank you so much for liking my designs !!!
And to answer your question, here's a list of some elements that I usually put in my countryhumans designs:
I apply these elements to their clothing patterns, headwear, shoes, and other accessories...
For example, inventions, the Rubik's cube was invented in Hungary, so Hungary has Rubik-shaped earrings.
Or for national plant/flower, instead of placing on their head, stylize it a bit by giving the character flower patterned dress, scarf... Anything that would turn out eye-pleasing
I don't always draw them in traditional attire though; modern clothing with patterns or aesthetics that fit them is also my go-to !
(Like goth UK or metalhead Finland hehe)
One thing is that most of my countryhumans are animal hybrids, inspired by either their national or iconic animal, sometimes from folklore as well (because I find it cool :p)
That’s quite a lot of things to research but I love adding details like that… personally, do researching on many aspects of a country is interesting. It is like a way to know more about them
